4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox Slot Review

We already alluded to there being plenty more fish in the sea, but with so many bonus elements included within the gameplay, the 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox slot feels much more like the catch of the day. Find out more about the included features such as Giga Symbols, Money Ways, Re-spins, and even more below.

Money Ways Feature

Fish symbols can appear on any reel at any point throughout the game. Cash awards, ranging from 0.1 to 50 times your stake, are linked to every fish symbol as it lands.

Larger fish that have more monetary rewards fall on the reels on the right. The same rules that apply to ordinary wins also apply to wins created by fish symbols (on neighbouring reels from left to right). Any fish symbols that are part of a win award the total prize indicated on the symbol when a win happens.

Big Game Fish Feature

The fish mentioned in the previous feature are also affected by the Gigablox mechanic, forming the Big Game Fish Feature where high prizer payouts can be awarded. It is also worth noting that 1x1 Big Fish symbols used in a winning combination award the same portion of the total Big Game Fish prize. 

 The Gigablox sizes of the Big Game Fish and their payouts are as follows:

Giant Squid Bonus

On each spin, there is a chance for the Giant Squid to appear over the reels. It can grant 1 of 4 bonuses. Squid Shuffle rearranges the reels in the hope of a winning combination, while Squid Swap does the same for the symbols themselves. Squid Reveal turns the blocking seaweed symbols into winning ones, and the Giga Summon creates a Gigablox of at least 4x4 in size.

Re-Spins Feature

This is essentially the 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox’s version of a free spins bonus. If the player lands at least 3 scatter symbols on the reels during a spin, the Re-Spins Bonus will activate. This will start by giving the player 3 Re-spins. On each of these re-spins, if another scatter symbol appears, more of the reels will unlock for the bonus game, with the exception of the top and bottom rows on each. 

During the re-spin bonus, only fish and blank symbols will appear on the reels. Fish have the chance to be Gigablox, and are always sticky. Whenever one lands, they will also reset the spins counter back to 3. 

When any of the active reels fill up with fish, the shark will swim up from the bottom of that reel, consuming the fish and giving a 2x multiplier to each. Any fish that were Gigablox will go back to being 1x1 symbols. 

The game ends when the player runs out of spins, or the reels fill up entirely with fish symbols, whichever comes first. Any remaining wins are then paid out before the player is returned to the base game and can spin again.

Bonus Buy In Feature

Players from outside of the UK may be able to access the bonus buy-in feature. By paying 80x their wager, they can spawn 3 scatter symbols on their next spin to take them to the free spins game, and by paying 150x their wager they can make either a 4x4 or a 5x5 Gigablox symbol appear on their next spin. This feature is not available in the UK in compliance with national gambling laws.

Overall, 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox does enough to set itself apart as a big enough fish in the expansive ocean that is fishing-themed slot games. This is thanks to the popular Gigablox mechanic, as well as a whole host of bonus features like the Giant Squid modifiers and the Gigablox fish symbols, plus its 6x6 reel structure and a maximum of 46,656 win ways which make this fishy slot more like a blue whale than a humble minnow.

While its RTP at a base level of 96% sets it at the industry average, the extremely high volatility rating may be a little challenging for some. Still, with a top prize of 12,000x and wagers starting at just 10p per spin, players can test out this slot for themselves with a small bankroll and see if they fall for this slot hook, line, and sinker.
